It's back again. For those who missed out on this deal, here's a second chance.

Available NSW/VIC/QLD only.

I picked one up last month and am very happy for the price. Sound is predictably average so you'll want to hook up some speakers. Watching the NRL GF on 9HD was fantastic.

Full specs from the Bauhn website here.

Also worth noting is that it's really light. I'm an average sized guy and had no issues carrying it myself.

Standard Aldi 60 day money back guarantee and 12 month warranty apply. No smart/android functionality but we've all got a few Chromecasts by now which does the job well.

Solid Gizmodo review here. Following his suggestions certainly make it a better viewing experience.

      I have just managed to get the 65inch bauhn TV from aldi today. The staff told me that I can get it on Wednesday, but ended he let me to buy it on the spot. I managed to fit it in Honda civic sedan only after I unpack the box. So far I am impressed with the quality, only need to calibrate the colour and its good to go.

    Is it backlit or side lit? Does it have local dimming?

    Hope its not side lit and without local dimming as i just returned samsung series 7 today back to the strore, absolute rubbish of a tv. Everything i tried and did i couldn't make the settings right, it beams one the same level of backlit without automatic control of it depending of the picture that it reproduces etc.

      The newest 7 series Samsung is the worst TV I have ever owned in my whole life.

      2 weeks on, I got a replacement panel because I thought it was defective. It wasn't. Sold it a week after that.

      Worst part is, I had to go the private sale route because The Good Guys were absolutely refusing a refund.

      Both panels had so much backlight bleed, and the judder on all content was horrible, because the bottom 4K Samsung panels don't do judder free 24p playback like almost every other brand does.

        Lol i returned my series 7 43 back today, its terrible, just terrible.

        Colors are so fake, if you make it look digital its only showing native colors (red, blue,green, yellow) to look like digital, but actually it all glows as florescent.

        It just doesn't know how to reproduce content that isnt blue ray or dvd, if you increase backlite and/or brightness you see all whites glowing around people like they are holy and airbrushed skin without lines, if you decrease you get dark things to be too dark and without details. I have a 6th generation samsung from 2-3 years ago and its amazing, just amazing led panel, he controls each led and dimmes it or turns it just right before reproducing the image, i cant belive that we are going back in technology instead of forward.

        Lol! I had an issue with good guys today also, i told him that the tv is rubbish and he told me that i should mind my words LOL! Like the tv is his child lol, i just couldn't belive how he was defensive about samsung.

          That store is as heavily biased toward Samsung as it gets without being in a Samsung retail store.

          But yeah, I had a fight with the manager of my local (note I wasn't being unreasonable like some customers may get) - but he wouldn't budge. I went on to say I'm not leaving without a refund, at that stage he said you can leave right now, or I'm calling the police for loitering.

          Some people would have an ACCC field day. I chose not to bother, and sold the TV for a couple hundred less than I paid and marked it up as a 'live and learn' moment. The Good Guys and Samsung won't ever be getting my hard earned ever again, that's for sure.

          @BradH13:
          I was nice with them also, i wasnt loud, rude, swearing or anything, i had a valid point why im returning the tv and want my money back, it was just 3 days after purchasing it. There should be some kind of law to allow at least 7 days that you have right to return a product back coz some stuff you cant buy and know what it is without testing it.

          Gotta ask how all you guys got a series 7 after standing there in the store staring at it, deciding to buy. Then getting home and deciding that it was worse at home than in the store?

        • drazenm on 08/10/2016 - 21:29

          @serpserpserp:

          I have a series 6 samsung tv (not the new generation) and its amazing, literally amazing, uses back and side led lightning, from whichever angle you look at the screen its looks perfect, it has auto led dimming to control each led individually so picture looks as it should with each scene. Upscaling is amazing also, whatever i played, whichever resolution, the tv made it look amazing, adding extra pixels to smoothen and sharpen things. natural with added digital vibrance that blends well and looks natural. That tv is 3 years old so you'd think that he new one is even better right? Well wrong, they removed back lightning, poor Upscaling, you need to be looking straight at the screen, go a bit left or right and its really really bad, samsung is cutting the corners on quality and price production and focusing on marketing.

          You asked about seeing in the shop and home. At the shop they playback material that is 4k and uhd sent to them by the manufacturer and its in most cases slow so you wouldn't see the tvs flaws that you would notice one you get the tv home. Or they play tv channels in the shops, usually one the same channel on 50 tvs at onec, so the antenna signal is divided 50 times and the tv can be the best the picture there in the shop will look poor, while at home your tv gets the full signal as its playing on 1 tv.

        • furythree on 08/10/2016 - 09:59

          you guys do know that even the new models for consoles dont actually play games at 4k right? they simply advertise that they can handle 4k

          the best youll get is some streaming 4k video in a compressed bitrate and low frame rate

        • ro0sta on 08/10/2016 - 23:50

          @furythree: PS4 supports "higher" than FHD, so what I'd call a "weak" 4K output…the TV doesbn't handle HDR which the PS4 now supports, so thats a bummer. Input lag from most reports doesn't seem bad, but i'm unlikely to find a propper review or video of a fellow gamer testing this exact TV and a PS4.

      • Butt Scratcher on 08/10/2016 - 11:35

        The heck, why is that guy using dvi to hdmi cable for 4k 60hz. I'm pretty sure dvi only supports up to 1440p at 60hz or something like that, but definitely no where near enough bandwidth. Not sure how he even has an option to change to 4k in the first place, but weird stuff is to be expected if he managed to get it to try and display native 4k

        • KOBH on 08/10/2016 - 14:56
          -3

          If this TV is not good enough for PC gaming then it's not good enough for any console gaming. There is nothing to argue about, just go buy one and test it out. You have 60 days to test it or get a full refund.

        • Butt Scratcher on 08/10/2016 - 15:22
          +1

          @PW: Not saying if it's bad or not, just saying his 4k tests (majority of his neg comments) are void because he is using the wrong cable. Have you ever tried running a resolution that your cable doesn't support? you get all sorts of weird oddities ranging from artifact, flickering, crashes, black screens, blurry image etc.

          The only useful info for gaming i can get out of his review is

          No noticeable latency at native resolution and down at 1080p 60hz (when I disabled all the fancy crap)

          Which is mainly all you care about when playing games on a tv. I personally am not interested in this TV, but i just thought i'd put my input for those who are interested.

        • ro0sta on 08/10/2016 - 23:52

          @PW: DVI/HDMI compared to straight 1.4 HDMI/HDMI, dealing weith differet graphic cards/outputs does create a difference.

    • RNDM on 08/10/2016 - 00:56

    • c0balt on 08/10/2016 - 11:09

      I'm somewhere in that thread to.

      I can confirm it has silly low input lag. The previous model had 80ms at UHD and a horrific 150ms input lag at 1080p making it very bad for UHD.

      This TV has input lag so low I'm not going to bother testing. It feels like a frame (~20ms), better than any TV I have used - almost monitor like. This is both at 1080 and UHD @ 60hz.

      Get a 1080p LG Oled of similar size. Picture is absolutely amazing. 4k might be the future but realistically there just isn't any content out there worth playing or streaming in 4k….kinda like availability of 3D.

    • edshays on 08/10/2016 - 07:46

      If you're anal about about quality, will be watching 4K blu rays etc, the Hisense m7000 is a fantastic TV. But the also TV is $799. $799 beats $2000 (I think that's the beat price that has been had for the 65"). This one won't be bad, but it won't be as good. But it's also less than half the price.

      • ro0sta on 08/10/2016 - 23:57

        I'd say "if you're anal about quality", don't buy Bauhn… But that's just me. When confronted with my last TV purchasing decision late last year - a 55" 4K flat screen LG OLED vs the curved 55" FHD OLED, i picked the FHD option - i am not a fan of the curve at all (silly gimmick IMO), but it was significantly cheaper but still offered the same amazing picture.

    SO I was in Aldi Somerville last Saturday 1st October and they still had 14 stacked upright and on its back/front( would be careful of these)
    these where left over from Saturday 17th September, so already more of the same TV not smart TV. Was the response so poor last time, they had so much stock left over? they had to re run it 3 weeks later. Maybe people have woken up to poor quality tv's, and even poorer after sales support. When Aldi first started selling LCD TV,s they had a 3 year warranty, now its 1 year. I bought the 1st 42" 100hz Bauhn Lcd at $999 considered it a bargain then, I stopped using it 8 years later.

      Jonc the best way to answer you questions is purchase one. Then take it back within 60 days if its not doing what you want. Don't believe on what people say here, tv's and what you from them are all very different. Just like media players everyone's needs are different. The only one good thing that Aldi has, is with all of their electronic products a 60 DAYS RETURNS POLICY

        The best way for Jonc would have been to click on the link to the last sale and look at the many ozbargainers writing reviews on the subject.

        The bad reviews are for previous models. There's not a single bad review of this model unless for actual defects. All of which will be dealt with by Aldi better than the likes of JB HiFi, HN or more. Just take it back and get another one without the defect.

      Thanks for the replies all… Might give it a try but also might need to look at a HDMI 2.0 GPU to push this TV at full 4K else I suppose I could just run it in 1080P mode for now on my current Media Centre as it's still larger and better than my current 42" Aldi TV (6+ years old I think it must be) It's genially been ok other than HDMI input with PC resolution so I've been using VGA input :-(

      Might consider the 60day return policy… cheers!

    • chriise on 11/10/2016 - 13:23

      Sorry this reply is a few days late, but hopefully helps. I picked up the 40" 4k which i think is very similar to this. I run it on my PC in 4K@60hz. The TV has 1 HDMI 2.0 port, which i connect to Display Port with an adapter (PC GPU doesn't have HDMI 2.0). I had to order the adapter from Amazon US though as couldn't find it elsewhere.

    i own a panasonic 4k tv 55inch and i got this aldi tv few months ago on a similar price, i returned it just after 2 weeks. Comparing it to my panasonic the picture quality is atrocious and for gaming the lag was noticeable. This is after adjustments.

    I guess if u never had any other 4k tv before you'll think this is great, but when u have a decent TV to compare with the quality is unacceptable. I would rather pay a little more and get something cheap like Hisense which is vastly superior and only slightly more expensive than Aldi

      How much is slightly more? I thought hisense 65" would still go for $2,000 ??

        I'd be surprised if the Hisense is any better than this. Most Hisense stuff is utter garbage.

          This is one of those typical clueless OzB brand snob comments with nothing but uninformed wank to back it up.

          Maybe you should buy one of those Samsung 7 series that everybody is currently returning GWH, that might keep you happy…

          @StewBalls:

          Thanks for the personal attack Stewballs.

          Put a Hisense next to a Sony - play a blu-ray.

          There is a reason you don't see the Hisense adjacent to most decent brands in the showroom - it will look crap and wouldnt sell. But on its own, it looks OK as you can't compare it.

          There is a major difference in brightness, picture quality and of course price.
          In that case you get what you pay for.

          Hisense make cheap and cheerful products. They make them to a price. It's a fact. Hisense products whether they be fridges, TV's or whatever are generally at best average quality. I've owned a couple, and will never again buy them as a result.

          Also try getting warranty support out of Hisense. It's not good.

          Are you upset because you own a Hisense ??

          Pity to hear the current Samsung series 7's aren't going well.
          I have an older model Series 7 and it's great.
          Sounds like this years series 7 has some issues.
          I guess nobody's perfect. Samsung certainly have earnt a better reputation than Hisense over a long time with a lot of products…

          @GreatWhiteHunter:

          I'm in the market for a TV and I can tell you that I've compared the hisense m7000s to the Sony's, Samsungs and LGs in the show room side by side and I think it blows everything away when it comes to picture quality apart for LG OLED (which is way more expensive) . Very close to pulling the plug on it and just waiting for the right price mark. You should maybe also go in and have a look at the M7000s. The 70 inch one is backlit, combine that with zonal local dimming and you get some amazing image quality.
